A hypothesis for decades, the mythical Saraswati is not only becoming a reality but may also start providing water again. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists have said the Saraswati can be recreated in today's time and age. The river may never flow again but its channel could provide much needed potable water all along the parched stretches of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. The space agency, which first used satellite mapping data to chart the course of the ancient river which is said to have disappeared a few thousand years back, has now come out with new data in a recently tabled report which proves the existence of the river on the ground.
